Just wondering why someone would pay 9 BTC for this?

It is a Casascius Physical Bitcoin...loaded with 5 BTC.  People love these coins...just google them and see why.  They have a ton of collector value and never sell for face value..

More info on Casascius coins here: http://www.spotcoins.com/casascius

And as noted by Blazedout, these are highly sought-after collectors' items. All Casascius coins are pretty rare by most sovereign-coin collecting standards, but the issues with mintage under 1000 (like the one in this thread) even more so.
